Got it working but not with sysGetVectorRandom. Stations were still within the specified distance. Game code examples use it with ships (a lot) and stargates, but not stations (but I didn't search very thoroughly). And a lot of the game examples use sysGetVectorRandom to create the 'pos' first, then...

Just adding a bit more detail to the second option in Betelgeuse's post above. Another way is to add the switch to a shortcut. Current for 1.8b2. Open the Transcendence game folder. This is the folder which contains the files 'Transcendence.exe' and 'Transcendence.tdb'. Right-click 'Transcendence.ex...

Using the function. Using 'sysFindObject' gives us a list of objects. Unfortunately this is a list of numbers which don't mean much to us humans, although the computer likes them! To check if the criteria we have used is giving us the objects we want it can be handy to convert the list to a list of ...

Here's the function help (1.8b2). (sysFindObject source criteria) -> list of objects criteria is a string that must specify one or more of the following categories: * Include all categories b Include beams G Include ONLY stargates G:xyz; Include ONLY stargate with ID 'xyz' k Include markers m Includ...

Are you sure the only difference is whether it's in a Type or Dockscreen? Nope. That's why I posted here and didn't ticket it. If you can get the info transferred then it was errors in my code, a not uncommon event! I worked around it using type data but didn't have the time to do a great deal of f...

A whole heap of unrelated feedback and opinions dumped here because I can't Twitch or Discord easily. I found Transcendence when searching for a downloadable copy of a game I used to play. Got hooked and now can't even remember the name of the other game! I'm very interested in science-fiction and f...

Thanks for that info. I'm totally graphics-challenged! So if a 120 facings image of a black number '1' with a transparent background was created could this image be overlayed on a ship to rotate with it? Or if not overlayed somehow displayed in the same location so it appeared over the top of the sh...

I was using scrAddAction inside <OnGlobalPaneInit> in a <Type> UNID recently. It seemed that having this sort of code (scrShowScreen gScreen &dsWhicheverDockscreen { thisData: (codeGetWhatever info) }) in the code section of scrAddAction wouldn't carry the info to the destination dockscreen from a <...

One feature that would be handy is the ability to place a number, letter or small image on a ship image. As an example, using a small image of the number '1' and adding it as an overlay that rotates with the ship. Ths would simulate having a large painted number on the top of the ship and would be v...

Is there a way of making sure that a station added with <OnGlobalSystemCreated> doesn't overlap a station placed by the system code? The attached mod adds two small stargates to binary systems. They are placed between 40 and 70 ls from the centre of the each star. Using 'objSetPos' the player can in...

This was mentioned a while back but never happened AFAIK. With the release of 1.8 and the updating of the mod section of the Multiverse coming soon it seems a good time to start this topic. So if there is a mod you like but it doesn't work anymore or doesn't work as well as it did in previous versio...

The attached mod adds the "Armor Forge" action to all startons. EP needs to be in the Collections folder and the 'SOTP Nanoforges' mod needs to be selected for Part 1 (SOTP). I did no testing other than forging the three basic armor types at a starton so bugs may appear with further gameplay. The Ar...

Just a bit of feedback prompted by playing 1.7 and 1.1 recently. The disabled Loot action if no items are present is a great improvement. Hat tip to NMS. Every one of new weapon images look really good (the turrets are awesome). As do the recolored Centurions and Ronins. The Ronins especially (plus ...

Pretty sure I've said it before but I love the circly/ripple hit effect on the Premier gunships. Great sound too. Thrust effect on the Vega is great. And the Hanzo blaster in the Yatfwan starports is a great choice. It is awesome watching the starport pour fire into enemy ships. Bastion d'etat looks...

'shpEnhanceItem' doesn't return True/Nil as indicated in the function list. It returns a number, 0-7, which as far as I can determine depends on the result of the enhancement. And this number varies depending on the option [mods] as well. The texts used in 'intItemEnhanceStatus' give an indicator of...
